Re: Potpourri Creation Contest II: Substitution Levels

Warforged Barbarian

When Warforged discover true emotion, considering their warrior mind, it's not really surprising some use it to fight better. These warriors are some of the toughest of the Warforged, with armour that is near impenetrable, and still offensive capabilities through their rage.

Hit Die: d12.

Requirements

To take a Warforged Barbarian substitution level, a character must be a Warforged, and be about to take his 1st, 3rd, or 7th level of Barbarian.

Class Skills

Warforged Barbarian substitution levels have the class skills of the standard Barbarian class.

Skill Points at Each Level: 4 + Int modifier (or four times this number as a beginning character).

Class Features

All the following are class features of the Warforged Barbarian substitution levels.

Construct Toughness: Since Warforged are constructs, they are extremely tough, especially when combined with the fortitude of barbarians

Resilient: Warforged Barbarians are extremely hard to kill, as their armoured plating stops most blows.

This substitution feature replaces the standard Barbarian's Trap Sense class feature. The Warforged Barbarian gets Improved Damage Reduction as a bonus feat, and gains it again every time the Warforged Barbarian would usually gain an increase in their bonus from Trap Sense. Additionally, they gain an armour bonus to AC equal to the bonus they would have had from Trap Sense.

Impenetrable Body: An experienced Warforged Barbarian's armour plating are exceptional, and very hard to pierce with weaponry.

This substitution feature augments the standard Barbarian's Damage Reduction class feature. They gain the Improved Damage Reduction feat every time they would normally gain Damage Reduction. Additionally, all the Warforged Barbarain's Damage Reduction from warforged feats changes to DR x/-.
